  DS18B20 issues with KC868-Server
Posted by: sebagarayco - 08-16-2024, 06:33 PM - Forum: KC868-Server Raspberry Pi4 local server - Replies (9)

Hi, I'm having issues with multiple DS18b20 sensors connected to KC868-Server. I only receive temperature from one sensor and have two connected.

The sensor that is working is connected to GPIO4 and the one that is not working is connected to GPIO1 (yellow cable)

This is my config: 

one_wire:
  - platform: gpio
    id: pin4
    pin: 4
  - platform: gpio
    id: pin1
    pin: 1

sensor:
  - platform: dallas_temp
    one_wire_id: pin4
    address: 0x880b232213a28e28
    name: "Board Temperature"

I'm expecting to see the ID of the sensor connected to GPIO1 , instead I'm getting FOUND NO DEVICES ( already tried different GPIO port, same result)

  A32 PRO RF433
Posted by: thanassis - 08-16-2024, 03:44 PM - Forum: KC868-A32/A32 Pro - Replies (4)

Hi, I've got recently an  RF433 Receiver module and the relevant RF Wireless Remote and I want to use them with A32 Pro and espHome.
First I inserted in the esphome configuration file these settings:

Code:
remote_receiver:
  pin:
    number: GPIO38
    inverted: true
    mode:
      input: true
      pullup: true
  dump: all
  tolerance: 50%
  filter: 250us
  idle: 4ms

logger:
  level: DEBUG
taking them from here and here and uploaded it on a32pro.

Then I inserted the RF433 receiver module on A32pro and restarted it.

Pressing the buttons on the RF Remote the logger does not show the expected (raw) codes.

What am I missing? Am I wrong with this settings?

  RS485 - BIAS and TERMINATING resistors
Posted by: thom4s - 08-15-2024, 01:26 PM - Forum: KC868-A16 - Replies (1)

Hello,
Iv got a RS485 network with Master (USB to RS485 + NodeRed) and some another nodes (up to 100m distance).
I want add to the "middle" of network 2x KC868 A16 with ESPhome FW.   

USBtoRS485(master) ==== KC868-A16(slave) ==== KC868-A16(slave) ==== Last node(slave).

Master has BIAS resistors + 120 R resistor. Last node only 120 R terminating resistor.


Am I right when I think that BIAS and TERMINATING resistors has to be desoldered from both KC868-A16 ?
By schematics BIAS are R77, R81 (4k7) and terminating resistor R79 (120R).

Thank you.

  KC868-H32B ethernet port problem
Posted by: stybyk - 08-14-2024, 08:03 PM - Forum: KC868-HxB series Smart Controller - Replies (7)

Hello,
I had problem to integrate KC868-32B by MQTT, ethernet webpage loaded up, and i was able to control relays over webpage but it was not listen to MQTT.
Then i decided to try new firmware, but when i upgraded from V446 into V447, ethernet interface webpage disapear, and device is no longer active in the DHCP, it is not getting IP, but ethernet port green is lighting and orange is slowly flashing. I connected box into my WIFI but then i am not able to control relays anyhow.  ( I want primary to get MQTT).

Any suggestion how to repair ethernet, and what could be wrong when i just made firmware upgrade / downgrade back doesnt help.

  Product suggestion: bus bar
Posted by: lulu01 - 08-14-2024, 04:53 PM - Forum: Suggestions and feedback on KinCony's products - Replies (15)

Hello,

as discussed in another thread, it would be very convenient to have for each board a busbar available to connect the terminal of multiple switches and power several of them with a single wire.

Have a look starting 1:05 here for an example from Finder:

  Product suggestion: relay board with bigger relays
Posted by: lulu01 - 08-14-2024, 04:46 PM - Forum: Suggestions and feedback on KinCony's products - Replies (9)

Hello,

I have three H32B Pro relay boards + one H32B. As I need to have some larger inductive loads (motors for large covers) and LEDs with a high in-rush current, some of the relays already failed and I will need to replace them + add an extra KC868-E16 boards or two. This takes up a lot of space and becomes expensive.

You should consider having in the product range a new board with a controller + larger relays like the ones from KC868-E16. The competition does this, for instance Dovit only has relay modules with Finder 40 series relays.

  Very frustrated
Posted by: BaconRanch - 08-13-2024, 10:33 PM - Forum: KinCony Server-Mini / Server-16 Raspberry Pi4 relay module - Replies (1)

Hello,

I know this BB is monitored or run by the company, or at least this pasrt of the BB.  If I get banned its no loss.  I feel ripped off.

My unit doesnt boot from USB C no matter where jumper is....

My relays are not putting out any power....

There is not any good information on the specs...not even a power supply or max or min amps.

I had to chase to get the RF module I bought and paid for and I still dont know if its coming and if it comes with a remote.

There are no manuals...

Confusion for me at least between GPIO and iC2  , relays and modbus.  It seems if you are that tech savvy you'd build your own for much less money.

And a reply I see often is to DL the awful Whatsapp, which I will never do, its not a safe app.


I am about 100 hours into this and asked for a refund and return to company about 5 times.


I have no choice but to consider this as a massive rip off for me and to post an awful review on youtube and X to hopefully warn others about their risk here.  It seems like a promising product and the company seemed very good at pre sale but after receiving product and post sale support I have regrets.

  No power from relays
Posted by: BaconRanch - 08-13-2024, 08:36 PM - Forum: KinCony Server-Mini / Server-16 Raspberry Pi4 relay module - Replies (9)

Hello,

I have everything set up in my vehicle ( the server16 is going to run my RV,  12V system only ).  Everything configured in Home Assistant, switches working on corresponding LEDs working as expected....but no output at the wire block terminal.  What am I missing?

I have all switches ON but no power, I tred with all OFF in case of invert logic, still nothing.  Video attached just showing probe shows no power.


edit: video not uploading ....there is just no power

Hello,

I am up and working with MCP23017 Digital I/O expander.  Do I need the GPIO raspberry Pi custom integration too?  Can someone please explain the what each of these integrations do or why or why not they might be used.

Thank Uou,
